Big necropost, but I just want to post about this as an update for anyone who might try to use this patch now - there seems to be a substantial issue with the code here where, if too many nameboxes are opened without switching maps or opening a menu like the bag or the Pokedex that clears the...

My point is less "where are all the decomp hacks" and more "actually making and finishing the decomp hacks will be what really pushes the scene forward". I realize I sort of mixed my points in my post - I think the amount of binary hacks does speak to the relative accessability of binary, but I...

Seriously. Show people the results instead of telling them. Make amazing stuff. We are all here to make things! Binary has more results on that end in gen 3. Binary's merits are plainly visible in the fact that more projects seem to get finished on binary. That's not enlightened centrism, it's...

I did a shiny palette and back sprite for Scream Tail too so I'll contribute this here again. Wahoo! (I am on vacation while I do this so any corrections / problems anyone points out might have to wait)

I think there can honestly be some confirmation bias. I see decomp evangelism constantly but I'm inclined to take a mod at their word about how they see the community :P I also see decomp praise much more in various romhacking discords (not necessarily PC's) and on the romhacks reddit - outside...

Time for everyone's favorite: opinions from a quiet lurker! I got into romhacking in 2021 as a pandemic project. I'm pretty deep into it now. I picked up CFRU and the older tools simply because it was easily available and accessible. It's the first thing that shows up on a search, in no small...

Hi, dumb question, hopefully not one that gets asked a lot but I couldn't find any info on this - why is Squirtle's back sprite showing up as Poliwhirl for me? Hoping I didn't install it wrong.

Here's a submission for Scream Tail, one of my new favs. Anyone can feel free to do whatever they want with this for non-profit projects (basically, same terms as anything else in this thread). Sorry it took me so long to have anything to present! No back / shiny sprites yet, might touch it up...

In case you haven't found anything on this in the meantime - you're looking to do indexed colors. Programs like Photoshop and Glimpse have functionality for that but if you're looking to really get into the nitty-gritty with managing the palettes of your sprites, Aseprite will probably save you...

I really like this idea, I might try this in the future. Probably one of the more clever ones I've seen in a while, despite its simplicity.

Wow, this rules - I have such a big fascination with the e-Reader and the way it was used in the GBA/GC era. Such a weird piece of tech! I discovered recently that folks have been using Super Mario Advance 4's e-Reader functionality as a backdoor to essentially make custom levels, and this is...

Wow, I'm really glad I found this - it would have come in handy for me earlier but it's going to make the rest of my mapmaking endeavors go a lot smoother for sure. Thank you for posting & sharing this!

Yeah, this is what I'd say too - interesting and related to Pokemon in that it is built off of a Pokemon game, but maybe not a "fan game". I'm no mod so don't take my word as gospel of course, but I think it would still be valid to post a thread for it in the Romhacks section when it's done? If...

If you just want the sprites directly from Black & White themselves, I'd encourage you to look at Spriters Resource. If you want sprites in the style of a particular game you're hacking, you probably have to go looking for community creations - Aveontrainer has a large amount of FRLG-styled...

I do think there's something to be said about there being value in having Pokemon who are unpopular. I think Mr. Mime sucks, but I kind of "love to hate" Mr. Mime? There's a quality to Mr. Mime where it's a little bit, like, this guy is a vaguely unsettling weirdo on purpose. I think Mr. Mime...
